Meyer still holds reins for Ponies United Fre*s Internationa] DALLAS — With football coach Ron Meyer interviewing for a job at the University of Florida Monday, Southern Methodist Athletic Director Russ Potts was understandably nervous. Potts’ concern was eased Monday when Florida hired Charles Pell of CJemson. Before Pell was announced as the Florida coach, however, SMU athletic director Russ Potts admitted his concern about los ing Meyer to another school. { “Sure, I’m concerned,” said Potts. ‘‘But we have to be up front about these things. Ron has communicated with me right down the line on this thing. “It’s something that you are going to have to put up with when you have got a good, young football coach,” Potts said “I'd rather have a person people were interested in than a person that nobody is calling. Florida is an excellent job. But SMU is an ex cellent job, too. “Even if he gets a job offer it doesn't mean he will leave. But it is making an old man out of me In a hurry. 1 Oilers still United Press International HOUSTON — Houston Oilers Coach Bum Phillips called the Oilers-Pittsburgh game the best de fensive matches he’s seen in his career. His team’s injury report Monday confirmed it also was one of the most brutal. The status of Earl Campbell’s ribs still was unknown after a second set of X-rays was taken Monday. A more definitive report on the rookie running back and several other in jured Oilers was expected today or Wednesday. Campbell, the NFL’s leading rusher with 1,306 yards, took a clean helmet shot to his lower right ribs late in the first quarter after gaining 41 yards on seven carries. During the game, there were con flicting reports whether Campbell could return. Other Oilers sustaining possibly debilitating injuries were wide re ceiver Mike Renfro (twisted knee), tight end Mike Barber (dislocated shoulder), linebacker Robert Brazile (groin muscle pull) and cornerback Willie Alexander (lost tooth and possible broken jaw). "I want to go on record as saying Dan Pastorini (the Oilers’ quarter back) has got to be the toughest man alive. He hurt that thing (two cracked ribs) not when we called time out in the third quarter, but in the first half sometime. He was hurting at halftime,” Phillips said. Pastorini finished the game but was hospitalized after the game and also spent Monday night in the hos pital. Houston plays at New Orleans Sunday and against San Diego in two weeks. Phillips refused to speculate whether Pastorini, Campbell or the other injured Oil ers would be able to play the Saints, Ear] Campbell but the coach did not rule any of them out of that game. The coach praised his players' ef fort in the 13-3 loss to the Steelers — a game he described as the "best defensive game I’ve seen in 31 years of coaching. I hey played as well as they were capable ol playing. And I know without a doubt that they played as hard as any football team I've ever seen. I ve never seen a team commit more to a hallgame than we did,” he said.
